Excitement among Wolves fans reached its peak as Matheus Cunha prepared to bid farewell to Molineux and finally put an end to his lengthy transfer saga.
After signing a new contract in February, it was clear that Wolves had strategically included a release clause to prevent losing their prized asset in the transfer market. The clause was set at £62.5 million, sparking interest from various clubs such as Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Manchester United.
While Manchester United seemed to be leading the race for Cunha’s signature, the situation took a surprising turn following their Europa League final defeat against Tottenham. This unexpected outcome may have jeopardized United’s chances of securing top summer targets, including Cunha.
As the transfer saga took on a circus-like atmosphere, with Cunha teasing his departure on social media and hinting at a move elsewhere, fans eagerly awaited a resolution. Despite the chaos surrounding his potential transfer, Cunha remained a sought-after player with plenty of options for his next move.
With the transfer window looming and no clear end in sight, supporters hoped for a swift resolution to the Cunha saga before the start of the new season.
